The photo used is of "The Freedman's Bureau," Harper's Weekly, July 25, 1868, by A.R. Waud

The Freedmen's Bureau was a temporary federal agency that provided basic relief to emancipated slaves

After the program was ended in July 1866, A.R. Waud honored its three years of service with this cartoon

He portrays the Bureau as the necessary line of defense protecting black Southerners from their hostile white neighbors

9th Circuit Court Ruled that Restricting Open Carry is Unconstitutional
July 24, 2018

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Hawaii’s laws restricting open carry are unconstitutional

“Analyzing the text of the Second Amendment and reviewing the relevant history, including founding-era treatises and nineteenth century case law, the panel stated that it was unpersuaded by the county’s and the state’s argument that the Second Amendment only has force within the home”

George Young, Hawaii resident was denied twice in 2011 to carry a handgun

Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain wrote in his opinion that “for better or for worse, the Second Amendment does protect a right to carry a firearm in public for self-defense.”

Just got the word that this year’s @secondamendmentfoundation Gun Rights Policy Conference in Orlando has been switched to a virtual only conference

This is unfortunate news for everyone who was planning on being there, but might be good news as far as getting more people involved online

The virtual conference will take place on September 19th

It doesn’t look like the website has been updated yet, but https://www.saf.org/grpc/ is your probably your best bet for more news and to get on the email list

I haven’t heard anything about @ammcon yet

Semi Automatic Rifle Import Ban signed into Law W

Semi Automatic Rifle Import Ban signed into Law

Wed March 15, 1989 – spring suspension

July 7, 1989 – Signed into law
Bush Administration
banned imports of semiautomatic assault rifles indefinitely announced by William J. Bennett, the director of national drug policy requests from importers to bring in the rifles had nearly tripled those for all of 1988

Law enforcement officers have complained they are often outgunned by drug-traffickers and other criminals who carry high-powered weapons that fire many rounds without needing reloading

Doctors and nurses in major cities have reported sharp increases in the numbers of deaths and serious wounds from such weapons

firearms dealers attributed the sharp jump in import-permit applications to a fear by the gun-owning public that purchase of the weapons soon would be prohibited

Stephen E. Higgins, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, estimated that half the owners of assault rifles are collectors
